高校学术权力纠纷的法律解决机制

学术权力是学术人员对学术事务的一种影响力和支配力,它对相对人的合法权益有着重大的影响,因此,对于学术权力纠纷需要通过法律途径予以解决;但我国现行法律对此规定很不完善。本文以学术权力纠纷的性质、特点为基点,探讨构建包括申诉、学术仲裁、诉讼等在内的学术权力纠纷解决机制。

"敬惜字纸"的民俗信仰--论《桂宫梯》和《青云梯》

志怪体善书《桂宫梯》和《青云梯》,反映了古代“敬惜字纸”的民间习俗信仰。这些故事叙事简略,情节单一。借用佛、道教义,运用小说艺术手法,以宣扬敬惜字纸的民俗信仰。它既体现了中华民族尊重知识、尊重文化的传统美德,也符合封建统治者清除异端的文化策略。在某种程度上,还对文化遗产造成了破坏作用,并且不利于资源的循环利用。     

学术史研究的新境界

进化史观的传播，新史学思潮的初步确立，冲击着传统学术史的编纂方式。进入二十世纪后，摆脱由纪传体史书演化而来的学案体学术史束缚，编撰崭新的章节体学术史，成为历史编撰学的重要课题。在建构中国学术史的新体系的历程中，出现了象梁启超著的《论中国学术史变迁之大势》，刘师培的《周末学术史序》，章太炎的《清儒》、《学隐》、《学变》等用新观点、新方法写成的学术史著作，开创了学术史研究的新境界。本文主要对梁启超著的《论中国学术史变迁之大势》做较为系统的分析，兼顾对其他用新观点写出的学术史著作进行阐释。     

Breaking the tyranny of office hours: Overcoming professor avoidance

ABSTRACT

Studies have found that Faculty–Student Interaction (FSI) has many positive benefits for students including academic support, professional development, mentoring, and career planning. Research-intensive universities exhibit the lowest levels of faculty–student interaction within higher education. This article utilises qualitative methods to explore faculty, student, and staff perceptions of faculty–student interactions, particularly those that take place out of the classroom, at a research-intensive public U.S. university. We identify social distance between faculty and students based on unequal status within a rigid, hierarchically-organised culture as a key barrier to FSI. We then discuss methods that some of the faculty in our study used to mitigate their social distance with students in an effort to increase FSI.     

The scholarship of teaching: A comparison of conceptions held by experts and regular academic staff

Over the past decade the scholarship ofteaching has received considerable attention inthe higher education literature as a reactionto the widely cited Carnegie Foundation'sreport ``Scholarship Reconsidered'; however, theconcept has remained devoid of a unifieddefinition. A recent Delphi study conductedwith a selective group of scholars whoseexpertise lies in the area of universityteaching and learning indicated the extent towhich these ``experts' agreed with each other onimportant features and unresolved issues theyassociate with the scholarship of teaching. Building on the results of the Delphi study,the present article discusses the results of asecond survey comparing these ``experts' 'conceptions with those of a larger group ofscholars whose expertise lies in a differentacademic field (``regular academic staff'), inorder to identify the similarities anddifferences in the conceptions of thescholarship of teaching held by each of the twogroups. While regular academic staff werefound to associate the scholarship of teachingmore with good or effectiveteaching ``experts' pointed to notions such aspeer review and scholarly standards. Thediscussion of the results focuses on the notionof consensus reached within and betweenthe two groups. It is argued that in order topromote changes in policy with respect to whatis to count as scholarship, identifying andreporting ``experts' ' conceptions, thoughclearly necessary for promoting moreenlightened discussions on the issue, willremain insufficient. Policy change in academeis more likely to ensue as a result of thewider academic community reaching consensus onthe meaning, and nature, of the scholarship ofteaching. The wider academic community includes``experts', as well as colleagues in departmentsand disciplinary associations. The articleconcludes by exploring the notion of consensusthrough the lens of critical social theory.
